Branch Warren Workout

Branch strongly believes in the basics and going hard and heavy when he trains.

He stresses that in order to gain muscle you do not have to get complicated as building muscle is not rocket science he says and that you gain muscle by going hard and heavy using only basic movements. He does not train below 6 reps because of possible injury as his bodybuilding career was put on hold for a year when he tore his bicep.

Below is just a sample of a back workout that he would do which he uses regularly. He stresses that the only way to make gains is to train hard every day for years. Progressive resistance will always gain you more muscle than you currently have.

Here is a example of his back routine:

Incline T-bar rows 3 sets x 10 reps
One arm dumbell rows 3 sets x 8 reps
Bent-over barbell rows 3 sets x 8 reps
Lat pull downs 3 sets x 15 reps
Seated upright row machine3 sets x 15 reps
Hammer strength pull downs 3 sets x 15 reps
Seated low cable row 3 sets x 20 reps
Rear delts on fly machine 4 sets x 10 reps
Bent over dumbell rear laterals 4 sets x 10 reps
